"Hack Back" Is a Distraction: Scaling Active Cyber Defense - [CXN-M01]
  • Monday, Mar 238:30 AM - 9:20 AM PDT
    Moscone West 2016
    Reserved Seating
Frustration over rising cyberthreats has led to calls for legalizing private-sector "hack backs," but many companies already lead narrow, offensive-like actions permitted under current law. This session will invite participants to join the conversation and explore legal, operational, and other barriers to scaling active defenses so that more organizations can defend against advanced threats.
